Richmond (6-5, 315) is the No. 6 offensive tackle in the nation and the top prospect in the state of Tennessee according to the 247Sports Composite. He's thought to be a slight Tennessee lean, but told 247Sports last week that he likes Auburn "a lot" and thinks Tigers offensive line coach J.B. Grimes is "an amazing coach."

He watched Alabama's 45-10 victory over Tennessee last fall and was impressed with the Tide's success and with Cyrus Kouandjio's work at left tackle.

"All the national championships speak for itself," he told Rivals.com. "They are a winning school."
